Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Working longer is an effective way to boost prospects for a secure retirement, but is it realistic for workers across the socioeconomic (SES) spectrum? (2) The Center examined this question in a series of studies funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, using education as the measure of SES. (3) Given rising life expectancies, the analysis finds that it is reasonable for lower-SES workers to work somewhat longer. (4) However, it may be harder for them to extend their worklives, as they plan to retire earlier and face narrower job options than their higher-SES counterparts.
